First of all, what city did you start out in? Second of all, the box you are in is a teleport box, used by GM's. Last, the only way to get out is to get teleported out but also if you are playing on your own server and you have GM priveledges, simply zone somewhere else or use the #goto command and jump to cordinants that work. If you are on someone else's server, send them a tell and notify them that you are stuck and they can get you out. As for the second thing about seeing people chat but it says you are not logged in, that makes no sense. Clarify what you mean and I will try and help.
Hope This Helps!!!
